To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, FRANKLIN D. Boa-- LAND and PA'rntcx G. IIANEY, citizens of the United States of America, residing at Mc- Keesport, in the county of Allegheny and State-of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Composition of Matter, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a new and useful c'om osition of'matter to be used for coating insu atom and for coating steel, cop )er, aluminum, ii'on, brass, paper, wood, and similar material to make the same safe. for handling, when charged with elei'ztricity.

A portion of our composition coi-lsists ol' the following ingredients, combined in the proportions stated, vim: linseed oil, half int- "um arabic two ounces; turpentine one gill; Japan drier, hall gill. These ingredients are to be thoroughly mingled byagitating and boiling for twenty minutes with a boiling heat.

structure, and during these six minutes subjeeted to a heat of 250 degrees Fahr.- After the article has been so dried and cooled it is ready for use.

Our coating is a hon-conductor of electricity and is capable of withstanding the forces of nature when exposed to the atmosphere.

Having now described our invention what we claim as new, is:-

1. A composition for electrical consisting of a heated admixture of linseed oil, gum arabie, turpentine. and Japan drier in a plastic state.

.ZJAs a new article of manufacture, an insulation medium consisting of a plastic composition derived from the. boiling and straining ol an admixture consisting of one-' hall. pint linseed oil, two ounces of gum arabic, one gill turpentine, and one-half gill Ja an drier.

in testimon} whereof we allix our signatures in the )resenee of two witnesses.
